Apollo 11 The events told in the astronauts' own spoken words

On July 16-24, we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11, the mission that put first man on the moon. This show tells of the events of that historic week through the spoken words of astronauts and the mission control themselves.

It's a condense of that 8-day epic journey to 26 minutes and includes the tense moments during the flight that could have doomed the mission and the lives of the astronauts such as the dangerous powered descent, the dreaded "1202" alarm, frozen fuel lines, a stuck hatch, possible landing on a crater, etc. It's a simple production that I created and must admit pales in comparison to that of the TV networks.

Main sources for the info are:
1. "Man on the Moon" (The Voices of American Astronauts Recorded in Space Flights) Spoken Word 1969
2. "Space Missions: Apollo 8 & 11 Astronauts - Spoken Word 1970
3. The Apollo 11 Flight Journal https://history.nasa.gov/afj/ap11fj/index.html

For the many Space enthusiasts in you, reference #3 gives the complete and detailed recorded events from Earth to the Moon and back, made available to the public by NASA.

Sadly, the First Man on the Moon is no longer with us to celebrate this momentous event. Neil Armstrong passed away August 25, 2012 with burial at sea ceremony in the Atlantic Ocean on Sept. 14, 2012.

I hope you like it. Enjoy and thanks for watching.
